THE HALEY THEATER.
II Is Greatly Improved, and Far
More Comfortable than 1t Has Ever

IL Is Greatly Improved, aud Far
More Comfortable than 1t Has Ever
Been.
A TIMES reporter visited the The
xter, about 8 O'Clock last evening, to
see how the work of transformation
which has been going on for over a
month, was getting along. Four car
penters and three scene painters were
at work. Three stoves, connected by
pipes strung all over the house, kept
the place very hot-too hot, in fact
and Mr.. Moizan, the manager, has
concluded to take one down, to avoid
any cause of complaint from this
source.
The repairs and improvements are
assuming shape. The stage has been
enlarged in width, highth and depth;
it has also been smoothed over, and a
double floor laid, the sides and top
weather boarded and made air-tight.
Four dressing rooms two on each
side-haye been made, and a stage
door cut on the north side, for the use
of the performers. An improved
style of footlights has been put in,
the trough and sides of which are
lined with tin, and calculated to afford
the utmost possible light while guar
anteeing almost entire immunity from
bursting lamps. The openings in the
roof have been fitted with ventilators
tina. can be opened or closed at will
the private boxes and every shred OF
cloth or anything combustible removed
from stage, gallery and ceiling; the
floor has been planned, preparatory tc
laying down . new one, eut,re new
scenery painted, etc.
Much yet remains to be done te
make of the Theater the elegant
Thesplan temple that Mr.. NOLAN in
tends; but the work is already sufh
ciently advanced to promise audi
ences much more comfort than they
ever enjoyed there. In fact, the bal
can be made ready for a performance
or ball at any time, at FIVE hours no
tice.

A Probable Lecture on General E. j.
Baker by Mrs. Duniway.

Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway will
arrive tomorrow morning, on a visit
to friends in Bellevue, Ketchum and
HALEY. She will remain on the
River about 10 days. During her
stay in HALEY an effort will be made
to induce her to deliver q lecture on
E. D. Baker, the orator, statesman
and soldier, in whose honor the HALEY
post OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public is named. Mrs. Duniway was
raised in Illinois, and her family and
that of the brilliant "Rupert of the
West" were near neighbors and warm
friends. The lecture would therefore
be real labor of love to her, and il
is to be hoped that she will consen,
to deliver it. If she does, it should
of course, be under the auspices o.
e. d. Baker Post, il not for its ben
eft.

tue PROPOSED DIVISION.

There IL No Immediate Danger Of II,
bat . Meeting VIII be Held this
Evening to Consider the Natter.
On his return from Rocky Bar. yes
terday, DR.. Mckay stated that West.
ern Alturas was fairly ablaze for divi.
sion, and that Mr.. Miller, of Noun
tain Home, who is the business part.
ner of Councilman Helfrich, was cir.
oulating a petition praying the Legis-
lature to permit the proposed divi-
sion. This naturally caused much
alarm here, and several leading c,ti-
zens telegraphed to Boise to ascertain
the facts.
The TIMES, although unwilling TO
doubt the good faith of its Boise cor
respondents in the matter, at once
autographed Frank o. Harding. En-
rolling and Engrossing Clerk of the
House, instructing him to ascertain all
possible information about the scheme
and its advocates and promoters, and
to telegraph it to the TINES, even
should 1000 words be necessary.
About 3 O'Clock the following was
received:
Boise, January IA, 1887.
14:13 O'Clock.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMKs:-
No division scheme on foot except of
Eastern Alturas, of which you pub.
lished all particulars over three weeks
ago. 1t will undoubtedly die in the
Council. HARDING.
That there is scheme on foot to
segregate a part Of Alturas county
there is no doubt; but we do not be-
lieve that it will sucoeed-that it can
succeed. All our legislators are
pledged, in the most positive manner,
against division; the taxpayers
whose burdens are too heavy already
are opposed to it; and lastly (but
not leastly) the Act of Congress which
specifies the powers of Territorial
Legislatures positively prohibits it.
Here is the portion Of said act refer.
red to:
Tho Territorial Legislatures X
y shall not pass local or special laws
in any Of the following enumerated
cases:
Changing the names Of persons and
places.
Locating or changing county seats
Regulating county and township
affairs.
For the assessment aud collection
of all taxes for Territorial, county
township or road purporses.
AS, however, there may be pos
sibility Of something Of the kind be
ing done, the TINES has been request
ed to publish call for meeting il
the District Courtroom, at 8 o'clocl
this evening, to discuss the matter
and. possibly, take some action in th'
premises.

The luminosity that exists between
the Republicans and the Prohibition
lists has all the well-known bitterness
Of family ieud. The Democracy is
not bitterly assailed by the third party
people for the simple reason that they
have no charges OF deception or vio-
lated faith to lay at the Democratic
door. The Democrats have given
them no promises, but have, as rule.
been their open, fair and square .p-
ponents for the reason that Democ-
racy is opposed't to paternalism. For
these reasons the Prohib tionists aim
only to defeat Democracy in elections
by regular methods, while they would
"slnash the Republican machine"
with good deal more OF pleasure
than which comes of a mere political
success. All the arguments of the
Republican leaders are thrown away
on these devotees OF conscience. Coax
ing aud abuse are alike impotent.--

ground at the cemetery during the
preliminary exerci ses. A few mo-
ments before Captain Black, chief
counsel for the anarchists, concluded
his address and while the spectators
were in a manner spell-bound by the
Captains rhetoric, some one shouted,
"make way for Mrs. Parsons" Pass
age-w way was made and Mrs.
Parsons. accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. William Holmes, came forward.
THE NEAREST COFFIN
To her was that of August Spies her
was second from this. Mrs.
Parsons eyes seemed to pick out the
cae ket in which she was most inter-
and the moment her gaze
caught it she gave voice to q wall
which startled the crowd. Captain
Black paused in his speech, and the
screams from Mrs. Parsons reached to
the outer circle of the crowd; then
she strove to speak, but the words re-
fused to come out, and she sank faint
ing into the arms of friends. Some
men near her made snow-balls and
rubbed her temples, and when she
showed signs OF consciousness she
was carried away.

If Mr.. Blaine is not stronger now in
New York than he was three years
ago; if he cannot bring to the Repub-
lican party the fluctuating and uncer-
tain vote which decides the State,
then he will have to be laid aside as q
sacrifice to party necessities. This Is
the stern and hard common sen Of
the situation. With all the admira.
ton which Republicans may have for
him, it would be foolish and suicidal
to name him for the Presidency wher
the conditions Of success in 1888 will
be the same as they were in 1884, and
when he or his friends Cannot show
that he will be likely to poll more
votes in New York than he did wher
he was beaten.-{ Philadelphia Bulle-

II the Republican party is going to
break the solid South, it must turn
over a new leaf in the selection of
candidates. 1t would be an insult to
the old Free States to ask them to
support party which presented q re-
pudiator like Malone in Virginia, or
o corruptionist like Congressman-elect
Butler, Of Tennessee, who narrowly
escaped expulsion for selling cadet
ship When he was in the House years
ago, and who accepted 5000 bribe
in the recent Tennessee canvass to
flop over and oppose prohibition. II
is none the less an insult to the old
slave States for the party Of moral
ideas to present such representatives,.

There was very good house last
night to witness the second represen-
tation of the Lights o. London. and
judging by those observed in the
auditorium, Los Angeles is not -
Puritanical as some people seem to
imagine. As on the opening night.
the audience testified uproariously
their appreciation of the piece. which
is founded on lines calculated to in
terest those who delight in 3 sensa-
tional entertainment. The mem ers

fight Between H0 milton and
Rea don az San Jose.


heardOm as San Jose.
SAN JOSE, December 18.-About GOO
persons assembled at the Pavilion last
night to witness the fight to a finish
with skin gloves between Billy Hamil-
ton and Jack Reardon for $3.50 side.
The Sheriff and two deputies were
present to prevent smuggling, accord
ingly four ounce gloves were substi-
tuted for two-ounce ones. The fight
was called at IL 20. For the first four
rounds both we're cautious, but in the
fifth round, after hot infight,ng, the
men clinched, regardless of the ref
eree's cry of "break away"
and both fell down, rolling
and fighting along the floor.
While the referee was trying to sep
arate them, Hamilton's second as
saulted Reardon's second without any
apparent caue, the spectators broke
into the ring, and general fight was
imminent, v hen Sheriff Swigert re-
stored order. Referee Barnes an
rounced that the fight will be con-
tinued within three days, the time and
place to be announced.
LATER-THE REFEREE's DECISION.
The fight has been given to Hamil-
ton by the referee, who decided early
this morning that the men should g.,
hack to the park and fight it out,
which Reardon refused.

Cleveland and N w York.

The New Yo'k Eoensag Post is rep
resented by some of the Republican
editors az ons OF the severest critics Of
the Presidents alleged interference in
New York politics, and yet this is
what the Post has to say about the
matter the day after the election:
"ft is not, as some of our contempo-
raries hint, purely personal victory
for Cleveland. 1t Is simply victory
for Cleveland as the exponent OF hon.
est government. So far as the indi-
vidual Cleveland is concerned it
means nothing So far as the indi-
yidual stands rs the representative Of
reform--a public officer with back
bone, grit, sound sense, courage,
fidelity to principle and patriotism-it
means everything. 1t is the voice of
the people calling with no uncertain
sound for q continuation of the kind
of administration of which Cleveland,
Hill and Hewi are the representa-
tives. And the voice of the people
will not he still next November.
